While it's tempting to create a technical solution for this kind of
issue, I'm not sure that's the right approach.

I'd regard this of more of a social issue, to be addressed through
communication between author and consumer (e.g. via documentation or
conversation) and/or more explicit attention by the consumer.

It's actually the client-side we have to worry about. Plugins are
executed in the context of the respective document, with full access to
its data and thus the potential to wreak havoc (e.g. deleting tiddlers
or exposing sensitive data).

Programmatically identifying the plugin which provides a given macro is
not easy.
